Off subject question, John. Where were your Spumco dolls made? and how did they make them? I thought it would be real fucking cool if I had at least one of my cartoon characters I made in college into a doll.

That lion roaring itself inside out is awesome. It reminds me of the R&S episode "Stimpy's Bellybutton" with Jerry the Bellybutton elf..I remember as a kid watching it an trying to wrap my head around the physics.. I've since learnt to just let it be and indulge in the creative imagination that created this beautiful cartoon - with that awesome song "Climb inside my world!"

I don't know if you are blocking anonymous folks still, but i saw this free streaming cartoon "channel" on the internet. It has a bunch of crazy old cartoons. Betty Boop and the like.. umm.. a lot of cartoons way before my time.. Thought perhaps you'd find some of them interesting.. I had no idea there were all these free streaming channels out there. heh.

I will personally trek to L.A. bringing a whole different lineup of cartoony cartoons - Craig D reminds me that there are some WWII era Popeye cartoons with absolutely amazing scenes by Jim Tyer - and join you to raise more do-re-me for the ASIFA/Hollywood Animation Archive.

I went to the Chris Sanders sketchbook blog and found only a mostly blank screen and some links, most of which didn't do anything when I clicked on them.

If the show that John's talking about is similar to the one he did in LA recently then I HIGHLY recommend seeing it. The show I saw was a career-changing event that pointed out new (for our era) possibilities for funny animation and funny story-telling. Miss this and you'll definitely reget it!

2. I snapped today. When I was watching my Looney Tunes Golden Collections today,I watched nothing but Clampett toons. I don't why. I just watched more and more Clampett toons and couldn't get enough and I wanted more and more ! Raving like a mad man saying, "more Clampett "! What the fuck is happening to me ?

Just to imagine that octopus moving is already a thrill. Amazing how the more I study animation and the more I watch these new TV shows and 3d features, the more I value the work of these old-time classic animators. They still have a lot to teach us...

Snuh! That first cartoon looks extreme to da maax... mmnyargh, what is it?

Have you tried getting cartoons in the beginning of certain films btw? It tends to be done as a promotional stunt in the US, using some over marketed character, but the French do it to sweet detail. I wonder what you thought of 'Les Triplets du Belleville'... best of all worlds. Also some of the best abstract animation seen in a while...

Hey, Mr. Kricfalusi, I sold you some Peanuts and Dennis the Menace on Sunday, and you told me to come to this, but unfortunately I had to work. I heard it went swimmingly and I'm very sorry I missed it. I just recently took up animation myself, having done a music video for some friends of mine. If you have a spare moment to check it out I would be very interested to hear your feedback. It's on my MySpace page Thanks!
